The Sound of Young America is produced independently

and supported by listeners like you and me.

You should support the show just like I did.

It's the Sound of Young America from MaximumFun.org and PRI,

public radio, international.

It's The Sound of Young America, I'm Jesse Thorne.

My guest on the program is Linda Barry.

She's one of the nation's most accomplished comics artists,

graphic novelists, comic strip writers, artists, et cetera, et cetera.

Her comics have run in alternative newspapers

across the country for many, many, many years.

And more recently, she's turned much of her time

towards writing longer works.

Her book of just a couple of years ago,

what it is was about the process of writing

and her latest picture.

This is about the process of making art.
